TWB Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Hello to all, this my first post on this forum. Have recently entered the world of HT and am the proud owner of a new Pioneer Elite 530 RPTV, Yamaha RX-V2400, and am considering either the Denon 2900 or Yammie 2300 for DVD duties. The question I have for the forum is: The room I'm in is 18 x 14, however due to a wide doorway I'l wide up with a usable space of 18 x 9, with a viewing distance of 13'. The wall the RPTV is going on is 93" wide. I currently own 2 KLF-20s, however I believe they may dwarf the usable area. Am considering either 1- finding a KLF-C7 center and then trying to figure out the appropriate surrounds for the 20s (seems to be a wide difference of opinion in that regard!!) or 2- buying 3 sets of either RB-5IIs or RB-35s and using three across the front and three across the back. Have not heard either RB-5 or RB-35 but from what I can gather on the web the 5s seem to be the more beloved of the two. I like the idea of having six matching voices. Any ideas, opinions, help. I'm driving myself nuts going back and forth between the two choices. I know this is a long post so I apologize in advance. And I must say, KLIPSCH IS THE ONLY SPEAKER TO OWN!!!!! Thanks for listening -TWB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 A matched set is the best way to go. However, the most critical are the 3 front speakers; similar speakers can often work as surrounds. Also, the surrounds are best along side the listener with the 5/6 channels in the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
